Begin your Delphi tour at the ancient Temple of Apollo, the sacred site where the famous Oracle of Delphi once delivered her prophecies. Built in the 4th century BC, this temple was the spiritual heart of the ancient Greek world and a major center for worshiping Apollo, the god of light, music, and prophecy. Explore the impressive Doric columns and ruins while learning about the temple’s historical significance and the rituals performed by the Pythia, the priestess who conveyed Apollo’s messages.
Visit the Athenian Treasury, a beautifully preserved building constructed in the 5th century BC to house valuable offerings dedicated to Apollo. This treasury symbolized Athens’ wealth and power and showcased intricate Doric architecture and sculptural reliefs depicting mythological scenes. Standing near the treasury, you’ll gain insight into the political and religious significance of Delphi as a pan-Hellenic sanctuary
